Gretchen Hess, an artist, has had a lifelong love affair with art. From her earliest days to her art school years and throughout her professional life, her art has been her driving force. Her art, as she puts it, is a journey into the soul, capturing both the powerful and subtle impressions of the physical realm.
The medium Hess selects for a piece varies depending on what she aims to convey. If conveying tranquility or introspection, she'd intuitively opt for soft pastels. However, she'd choose paint or even collage for a more forceful or expressive piece, leading to an abstract image.
Hess has a penchant for creating series, likening her inspirations to a short narrative that needs more than a single image to encapsulate the concept. Her previous experience in the decorative arts sector demanded the telling of an engaging narrative through a range of images and techniques with widespread appeal.
Presently, Hess is settled in a serene environment, complete with horses, on the outskirts of Chicago, Illinois. This location provides her with the perfect mix of rural and urban life, she believes.
